LGPL is GPL + a clause, that linking with it is considered a normal usage. GPL says, that the sources may be used for anything, provided that the result is also GPL. The icons are part of the source, so they can be used anything as long as it remains GPL. If the application in question will be under GPL, it can use any other GPL source, including the icons in question. I am not a lawyer either though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <bulb ucw cz>
